The Second Book of Moses, Called Exodus

Chapter 32

And when the people saw that Moses delayed to
come down from the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron,
and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this
Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is
become of him.

they have turned aside
quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten
calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed unto it, and said, These are
thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, saying, For evil did he bring them forth,
to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth?
Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people.

Remember Abraham,
Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and
saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all
this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall
inherit it for ever.

And he said unto them, Thus saith Jehovah, the
God of Israel, Put ye every man his sword upon his thigh, and go to and fro
from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and
every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.
